Our deportation defense attorney will start building your defense strategy by carefully reviewing your particular set of facts. We can utilize our extensive understanding of current case law, immigration statutes, and public policy issues to help you build a solid case.
An immigration judge can deport anyone who is not a citizen of the United States. This includes permanent immigrants (LPR) and nonimmigrant visa holders.
There are three main groups of people that are at high risk of deportation:
Non-citizens that have been deported or had a voluntary departure but returned or stayed
Undocumented immigrants who entered without inspection.
Undocumented immigrants are always targeted by ICE and are at high risk of deportation. However, some undocumented persons can avoid deportation if they are able to present a type of relief recognized by the court.
Based on the U. S. Immigration and Nationality Act, foreign citizens can be deported for the following reasons:
They entered without inspection and they have no visa or green card
They overstayed their visa or have an expired visa
They returned after being removed from the United States
There was a misrepresentation on a visa application
They were found to be in a fraudulent marriage
They were convicted of certain misdemeanor or felony crimes
They are a naturalized U. S. citizen that obtained their green card or citizenship by misrepresentation or fraud
They are a non-citizen that claims to be a U. S. citizen
Our experienced attorney can help by reviewing your case and look for the best legal strategies that can stop your deportation or reverse a prior removal order.
Deportation FAQs
What Are Mass Deportations?
Mass deportations refer to government-led efforts to remove large groups of individuals from the country, often targeting specific communities. These operations frequently involve expedited processes, making legal intervention crucial to protect those affected.
Who Is at Risk During Mass Deportations?
Individuals without valid immigration documentation, those with expired visas, or individuals with criminal records are commonly targeted during mass deportation efforts. However, lawful residents and visa holders may also face scrutiny in certain cases.
How Can Someone Defend Against Deportation?
Defenses against deportation vary based on individual circumstances. Common options include applying for asylum due to fear of persecution, seeking cancellation of removal for qualifying individuals, pursuing adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident, or obtaining relief under programs like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) or Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
What Legal Rights Do Individuals Have During Deportation Proceedings?
Every individual in the U.S., regardless of immigration status, has legal rights. These include the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney (though not at government expense), and protection against unlawful searches and seizures. Knowing and exercising these rights can significantly impact the outcome of deportation cases.

How Does Deportation Affect Families?
Deportation can lead to family separations, financial instability, and emotional distress. It is essential to work with an attorney to explore options for keeping families together or reuniting separated family members through legal channels.
Can I Appeal a Deportation Order?
Yes, deportation orders can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or federal courts in some cases. Appeals must be filed within strict deadlines, so it is important to act promptly and seek legal counsel.

“His hard work and dedication has made it possible for me to apply for my U.S citizenship and keep my family together. I am forever grateful to John Rodriguez and his team!!”
After consulting with other attorneys about my case I was told that my criminal/immigration case was extremely complexed. I was turned down by several other attorneys that would not take on my case. I was facing deportation without eligibility for any waivers. After many sleepless nights I came across Rodriguez LawFirm and I am glad I did!! John was very honest, and truthful but also very compassionate. After speaking with John my very first time, I felt like there was hope for my case. John Rodriguez and his team are extremely professional, and effective. John fought for me and my family with a relentless passion and conviction. John kept me well informed walking with me through the whole process. In fact there were several of weekend nights that he would call to update me on my case. He always kept me feeling positive. I believe John Rodriguez is living out his calling in changing immigrant families lives and futures.He was able to vacate my criminal case. His hard work and dedication has made it possible for me to apply for my U.S citizenship and keep my family together. I am forever grateful to John Rodriguez and his team!!

“I could not have asked for a better group of professionals to work with to get us through to the next stage in the process we cannot thank you enough.”
John, we cannot thank you and all of your team enough for the assistance you firm provided us. Olavo, Susan, Valeria, and you ensured all required requested documents for the processing of E.L and my fiance visa were collected and timely sent to USCIS. Within less than two weeks of submitting our response to the USCIS our case was approved and sent on to the NVC. I could not have asked for a better group of professionals to work with to get us through to the next stage in the process. We cannot thank you enough and look forward to meeting you and your team someday when we visit San Diego.

“I’m glad I chose to call Rodriguez Law Firm and have Mr. John Rodriguez work on my DUI case while other lawyers had told me it wasn’t going to be possible .”
It’s amazing! I’m glad I chose to call Rodriguez Law Firm and have Mr. John Rodriguez work on my DUI case while other lawyers had told me it wasn’t going to be possible and that I could be facing deportation due to that fact that I’m a DACA Recipient so I had little hopes considering this DUI was with a crash and an alcohol percent of .23 and DACA as well, But yet with the help of Mr. Rodriguez and how he was able to negotiate things he managed to get a wet wreck less which was something that I’m extremely pleased with, thanks to him it won’t affect my DACA and I have a second chance to do things right. I would highly recommend Rodriguez Law Firm they’re outstanding at what they do.

“I cannot thank you enough John for your professionalism and dedication in fighting and helping win my case.”
Attorney John Rodriguez is a persistent lawyer who is dedicated to fighting your case to get you the best possible outcome. He certainly did for me! He called me at 11:30 pm on a Friday night to give me an update. I do not think there is another lawyer out there who would do this. I could not have received a better outcome in my case. After working with John and his team, I know that I made the best choice for myself. Should I need immigration or criminal representation in the future, John is the first person I would be calling. I cannot thank you enough John for your professionalism and dedication in fighting and helping win my case.
